Schema Error

Created

None

Hi All, 

Hoping someone may be able to shed some light on the below

We have just updated our MIS programme version, when creating an ILR file for R05 and validating the schema, we have returned over 12,000 schema errors.

The error is: The element 'LearningDelivery' in namespace 'ESFA/ILR/2023-24' has invalid child element 'AimType' in namespace 'ESFA/ILR/2023-24'. List of possible elements expected: 'LearnAimRef' in namespace 'ESFA/ILR/2023-24'. 

Looking through the data it is for our programme additionalities that do not have a learning aim attached and across different funding models but mainly funding model 25. 

If anyone has any ideas as to what is causing this to suddenly appear it would be greatly appreciated! 

Kind regards

Kelly

Hi Kelly,

Only certain EEP hours need to be returned as 'Aims' in the ILR - mainly those that are related to Work placements or programme identifier type aims, these will all have spec learning aims beginning with a 'Z' though.

All other aims without a specific learning aim should be rolled up into  the EEP hours field on the Learner record. Details and Timetables of all EEP hours should be retained for audit though.

Details can be found in the ILR Provider support manual : Provider Support Manual for 2023 to 2024 (submit-learner-data.service.gov.uk)

Ouch, sounds like the update has removed something that stopped those things getting into the ILR which, as Phil points out, is the correct thing to do (even if you're using those records to count up the EEP hours for the learners).

Hi Both, 

Thank you so much for your responses. We have always done it this way so it must be something on the new update as you suggest Steveh. We're just doing a cross check to see if there are any courses with active learners that have not caused an issue. I have raised this with our MIS programme provider to look into. 

Kind regards,  

Kelly
